A Letter to my Dear Self

Dear Self,

          I knew you saw it. Right in the front of a big mirror, you saw it all: Your scars that remind you of your not-so-good past, your stretch marks that are scattered all throughout your very plump body, your psoriasis that keep on coming back from time to time, your facial hairs and warts that makes you feel dirty and ugly, yes, you saw it all, your flaws that made you feel insecure, down and unattractive.

          Yes, you have so many flaws but your love overflows. You have a kind heart, a quiet soul and a creative brain. You have your caring family, folks and friends who are always there for you. You have what you need and what you want in life.

Yes, you are a super-sized girl but God showered you with super blessings.

          Yes, you stutter when you speak. Yes, you have a mental illness. Yes, you cannot hear that well. Yes, you cannot see clearly but I assure you that you are truly beautiful and someday, though you don’t believe in what I am saying, someone will embrace your flaws and imperfections like you do. I am really proud of you for being courageous enough, strong enough to choose life again.

          Yes, you are crying deep inside. Yes you are in pain most of the time but don’t listen to what other people say. Listen to your heart, listen to what God says. He loves you as His princess, feel His embrace.

Yes you don’t like what you see but I like what I see in you. All of you, I love you. Let me hug you and kiss you for who you are. Let me love you. Let me take good care of you. Let me fight for you.

Love,

Self

30 QUESTIONS FOR SELF - DISCOVERY

Image
Hi there good-looking!  If you’re like me, a self –reflective type of person, I suggest you explore and discover something about yourself by answering the following questions I got from lavendaire.com and enjoy! So for now, will answer the first five questions out of the 30 questions listed. 1.    HOW DO I FEEL AT THE MOMENT? At the moment I feel relaxed after seeing the flowers of the fire trees I saw here in our subdivision. Also, I am feeling excited for tomorrow’s opening of classes in MCL, meaning back to cashier work and duties at Sugnaan Grill. 2.    WHAT DO I NEED MORE OF IN MY LIFE? I need more travels and adventures cause I stay in the house most of the time and I think that frequent trips to somewhere will spark the creativity I have. I also need love of course, because love is all we need! Hugs! 3.    WHAT WOULD MAKE ME HAPPY RIGHT NOW? At the moment, I think if someone close or dear to me will visit me now would make me happy

What book did you read over and over again as a child?

Disney Playtime Friends Set of 15 Hardcover Books w/Handles Walt Disney Princess and Classic Treasure Chest Story Book Collections I still love Disney and one of my wildest dreams is to go to Disneyland! I do not know where are these books as of now but it left me good memories and stories of course. I still love the fairy tales of Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast. I can still recall that the Disney princesses books are so big, was hard to flip but fun to read with those beautiful drawings.  When I was I think 5 or 6 years of age, my cousin Rhea was given a game laptop that I also inherited from her. Ha ha ha. I was given the books Disney Playtime friends with handles.I loved it so much because of the drawings again that were so colorful and real for me!  How I wish I will have the opportunity and chance to go to Disney and meet my favorite characters. I still love Disney now.

Hi there good-looking friends!  The following is my letter to my favorite inspirational book author, Bro. Bo Sanchez. I have written this on May 5 this year and the second part is his reply via email when we met on May 6 at a fund-raising seminar at World Trade Center.  05/05/2017 Dear Bro. Bo Sanchez,           I don’t know how to start but there is so much excitement and nervousness at the same time. I am so glad for this opportunity to finally meet you and see you. Thank you to Bro. JPaul Hernandez for giving me a chance to attend Baby Caleb’s fund raising event (I won a free pass online) and finally hand you this simple art I made for you last year.

It was December 2011 when I picked a copy of your book Don’t Worry be Happy at the bookstore and that time, I was having manic attacks. I was hyper; I bought all the books and stuffs I wanted. Yes, I have a mental illness called
